This week's issue of Entertainment Weekly features The 122 People & Things we Love This Summer - The Must List. Included on the list at number 13 is Ralph Fiennes, who will be portraying Lord Voldemort in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire in November and Harry Potter illustrator Mary GrandPré, at number 69. The magazine also has a small tidbitopens in new window on the selling of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

Ralph on Lord Voldemort:

Immoral Fixation: So how does one play the incarnation of evil? "Good question," says Fiennes, laughing. "My inclination was to underplay it, but you can't underplay Voldemort. He is evil. What I wanted was a you-never-know-what-he'll-do-next quality. My nephews and nieces visited the set-- they were quite taken aback. Probably because I was bald."

Scans of Ralph's article are hereopens in new window and hereopens in new window.

Mary GrandPré must haveopens in new window:

Not Tonight, Honey, I Have a Confidentiality Agreement: "[My husband] leaves me alone. He knows I could get into big trouble if I shared secrets.... He's a fan, though. He reads them after they come out."

The current issue of the magazine is on sale now. Thanks to Page for the tip and the scans.

Based on the parts he has done in the past it will be interesting to see his interpretation of LV.

It would be hard not to sit back and not bug your spouse if you knew they had information you would like to know. It is great that he is supportive.

Cool....that is so exciting I love when Harry Potter gets in countdowns and stuff like that. Does anyone know how much that costs. If you answer put my name in the post so I know when you answer.

Aw, I love Ralph Fiennes, he's probably still pretty despite being bald, *sigh*...it must be really hard for Mary GrandPre to keep secrets from her husband! Anyway congrats to both of them for making the list!

I hope Ralph does a good job playing LV, and just imagine how hard it will be for his family, now that Ralph and Mary have big roles in Harry Potter books.

Ralph Fiennes I really don't know him that well but from what my husband says he would make a good Lord Voldermort.

I really can't wait to see this film I sure hope that it stands up to the HP legacy.

Whoa...cool!

Ralph Fiennes...I'm sure he'll do great as Voldemort and won't underplay the part. He looks evil in real life already... I'm kidding - he just has that look.

And Mary....I never really thought about her knowing the secrets of the books. It must be pretty hard to not tell her husband who she must see everyday...Really hard. I'm glad she can, because it would be pretty bad if JK stopped trusting her and had to find a new artist (scary).

Thats really cool. It must be hard to keep any secret about the Harry Potter books to yourself. Mary probably has a hard time with that.
